| Abstract | New religious diversity of the late 20th and early 21st centuries requires Americans to move from the idea of a Judeo-Christian America to that of an Interfaith America. This article notes that a big part of America's current problem is how it has sacralized its tribal divide, with tribalism in today's America taking a particularly dangerous turn. Increasingly, America is a nation living under two flags: one America flies the Flag of Christian Identity, and the other the Flag of Marginalized Minorities. The article suggests that an important part of the solution is a different way of thinking about religion, diversity, and the nation. Liberal education is in a prime position to lead an effort toward an interfaith literacy that can offer reconciliation and justice to a divided nation. Interfaith literacy must be woven into the core components of campus life, from first-year orientation to general education, from service-learning projects to diversity programs. It should be an essential part of the college experience and part of the definition of being an educated person. (ERIC). |
